here are a couple goodies i;ve bought
Akrapovic slip on exhuast (VERY high quality, they make ferrari, porche, etc exhuasts) Rizoma grips (that actually replace the existing ones rather than just sliding on.) Woodcraft frame sliders.. I've got some more stuff on order. (all of these parts were necessary btw) |
Woodcraft sliders are badass. Are you getting Engine case covers/guards??? I wan't to get and Akra shorty slip on for my bike, but I still enjoy the quietness of my bike right now, lol.

Dunlops are good enough for AMA riders dragging knee at 90 miles per hour..good enough for me. I haven't done a track day yet, but on the street, these things stick like stink on an ape. |

I was referring to Dunlop's street tires. AMA racers are using special everything... can you buy the exact same Dunlop tires they use for the street? I wouldnt think the tires the racers use would not be street legal. |
